They changed the settings on the ventilator this morning for Jeff to breathe without the vent doing it for him. It also is there to force extra air volume in at the end of expiration so Jeffrey doesn't have to totally reinflate his lungs. So, he's still on the vent but definitely stable and looking good.
The bandages/dressing was taken off his head & neck today. Mom said that "It's our Jeffrey! His wound site is impressive with 17 staples but looks really good. His head is shaved on that side so we'll have to consider a new haircut." :) Sedation will increase and the vent will take over tonight so Jeff and his lungs can get some rest. Then tomorrow, he'll be back to work at getting extubated. Hoping that will take place in the next couple of days.
Jeff signed "store" today (told you it was coming!) and wanted his hospital gown off so he could plan the clothing for his exit strategy. I'm just so proud of him. SO PROUD! Keep your prayers going please - they are working!!!

Love him. I am a big Coke drinker myself and can't wait to hear that he is home enjoying a nice cold drink.
Still praying for Jeffrey! How is he doing this weekend?
